  • our relationship with food
  • myth busting
Activities & strategies
  • introducing new foods
  • food chaining

Course structure

The workshop is an in-person half day (4 hours) event at a range of Suffolk locations. Spaces are limited.

I can offer additional 1:1 appointments to demonstrate strategies with your child, review the family mealtime and give direct feedback and advice. These can only be requested following completion of the workshop.

Thanks for today! You made the session really comfortable for her, it could have easily been a different story as if she doesn’t warm to a therapist she can shut down and get very fidgety and not engage. Thanks for how you explained everything and how good you made her feel!
